The parks belong to citizens

Did you know, that for everyone who lives in Helsinki, there is an area of park covering 15.5 square metres and well over 200 square metres of other green areas, such as meadows, fields, forests and nature conservation areas?

By going on park walks, you can learn more about them. Keep an eye on the Nature Tour Calendar, Facebook or event notice boards and you will find out when walks are being organised.

By reading the webpages www.vihreatsylit.fi/en – Park Walks in Helsinki, you will learn so much that you too could become a guide in a park.

You too can be a volunteer!

Here you can read what is required to become a Park Pal. The registration form can be filled in electronically at the Urban Environment`s Customer Service (Sörnäistenkatu 1).
